I don't see any problem with using a contemporary 300W or higher ATX power supply, unless your motherboard is built to accommodate this 6-pin single inline AUX connector:

But even then you may be able to run the motherboard without it, provided the CPU isn't overly power hungry, as were some early 1 GHz Athlons, Pentium IIIs, and 423 pin Pentium 4s.

Do not substitute a low quality power supply, even if its power rating is much higher than the PP 303's. Stay with brands like Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, FSP, and even Thermaltake (Thermaltake quality varies by model).
